Biological evaluation of indirect restorations in endodontically treated posterior teeth with deeply located proximal margins following deep margin elevation versus surgical crown lengthening: a randomized controlled trial

ConclusionsDME and CL are considered clinically successful with favorable biologic responses.Clinical relevanceThe deep margin elevation approach could provide a more conservative solution when relocating deeply seated cervical margins in a more coronal position. DME reduced the number of visits and time needed for the restoration of endodontically treated teeth. Surgical crown lengthening remains a gold standard procedure in the re-establishment of the supracrestal tissue attachment, especially in cases where cervical margins are beyond the elevation capacity.
